Manchester City lost another away league game on Monday and are six points behind the league leaders. Their away form is going to cost them the title at this rate but at home they keep on getting great results and with lots of goals scored. 25 goals at home in the league and lots more in cup games just makes you wonder why their strike force goes awol when they play away.Sunderland are five points from safety after their 3-1 away defeat at Chelsea last weekend. That's a gap that can't be allowed to grow much larger but it might do this weekend. Their away form continues to be a major weakness and they have the worst record in the division with just four points and 24 goals conceded. That's not a record you want to have when making your way to the Emirates where several teams have already suffered heavy defeats. The two sides have met previously this season with City winning 4-1 at the Stadium of Light in the Capital One Cup. Another big defeat looks the most likely result here. I'd be tempted to go for the -2 handicap but City can be a bit unpredictable and the expected goal glut against Swansea didn't materialize recently. -1 though should be good enough for some profit though.
